Review: Postscript

Postscript (P.S. I Love You, #2)
Seven years have past since Holly's husband has died (in the book P.S. I Love You.) For the most part, Holly's moved on with her life. But after she's the special guest star on a podcast, interested over Gerry's letters picks up.

When a group of terminally ill patients contact Holly for help, she has a hard time saying no to them. But as she oversteps boundaries, she gets sucked back into her past.

Everyone in her life is afraid that she will relapse back into grief. She's struggle so hard to find her way back after her husband's death. They don't want to her to lose the peace she's finally found.

But Holly can't say no. She struggles with life, love, friendships, and her grief.
My Thoughts: It's been years and years since I read P.S. I Love You, but I remember loving the book. I felt terrible for Holly - being put into the position of helping people. But I found her relationships with the group admirable. I loved the messages about letting life pull you along, letting go of your grief, and finding yourself. This book gave me a lot to think about. Readers who enjoyed the first book will surely gravitate towards this sequel.

Cover Thoughts: Charming. I love the blue ink splatters.

Monday Matinee: Love, Rosie




Alex and Rosie have been best friends for ages -and at one time or another, both of them have thought of something more. But at the time something happened - everything goes wrong. Their relationship goes down a spiral.

Half truths and miscommunication make their relationship always one step out of reach. Could they really be made for each other or just best friends for life?
Based off a book by Cecelia Ahern (same title) that  I read years ago and Loved. Since it was years ago, I don't remember all the details except for the main story - but the movie seemed to follow along pretty well.

Lily Collins as Rosie was fantastic - I really liked her in this role.

It look me ages to figure out Sam Claflin (I confess I had to resort to IMDB) because he looked so familiar. He did a great job too.

I love how they were friends for so long. This movie made me smile, laugh, and shed a few tears. Well worth watching.
